Japa Maid

A Japa Maid is a type of traditional caregiver, commonly used in some cultures, particularly in parts of West Africa, to assist new mothers during the postpartum period. The term "Japa" is derived from a local dialect meaning "to leave or escape" and traditionally refers to a person who helps a mother with specific tasks related to childbirth recovery and newborn care. This individual typically provides physical, emotional, and practical support during the early stages of motherhood, ensuring that the mother and her baby are well taken care of.
